    Our favorite choice for intimate bistro-style dining! Food is exceptional, pricing affordable, ambience: vintage meets modern on its own terms. Village location makes it so accessible to locals and visitors alike. Why would we go anywhere else for a relaxing evening?

    They seated us and after 10 minutes I had to call the server. She said she didn’t see us in a room the size of my living room with only one other table taken. The manager and other server walked past us multiple times and totally ignored us. It was tapas and they served everything ar once? I e been to Spain multiple times last time this summer and this restaurant has no clue!

    We enjoyed a lovely and delicious dinner. We were quite surprised to find a note on our table upon arrival congratulating us on our Anniversary, signed by all the staff. Our anniversary isn’t for 3 more days, but then we discovered the restaurant is owned by the same person who owns Georgia Sea Grill, where we had made reservations through Open Table for our anniversary dinner. Obviously someone matched my name on the reservations and saw my note about celebrating our anniversary. That was an extra special start to our experience. Our server, Jenni, provided excellent, attentive, and knowledgeable service, pointing out special recommendations and providing nice touches throughout. The menu is very creative and expansive. Everything we tasted was delicious: the Fall Pasta (a huge serving even to share between 2), the Sweet Potato Goat Cheese balls, and the Shrimp Skewers. We topped it all off by sharing a slice of the special dessert, Olive Oil cake! Everything was excellent and provided us a perfect start to our special weekend!
